The perfect fall dessert! Simple Baked Apples 🍎

The perfect fall dessert! Simple Baked Apples 🍎

Ingredients:
3 apples halved and cored
3 teaspoons coconut oil or butter
3 teaspoons coconut sugar brown sugar or maple syrup work
pinch cinnamon

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place apples in a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 square baking dish. Place ½ teaspoon coconut oil and ½ teaspoon coconut sugar in each. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Add topping - Prepare the crumble topping: melt coconut oil, then mix all ingredients together with a fork until completely mixed. Sprinkle over the apples.
2. Bake - Cover and bake in the oven for 45 minutes (smaller apples) to 1 hour (medium-large apples). Test by poking with a paring knife. When a knife inserts easily, apples are ready.
3. Serve - Serve with a dollop of ice cream for dessert or yogurt for breakfast.

Storage - Fridge - These baked apples can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Re-heat in the microwave and serve with yogurt or ice cream.

Active Lifer of the Month: Marie LaRose

Marie has been a dedicated active lifer for over a year now after participating in our spinning classes pre-Covid
She is benefitting from a combination of push your pace, Dance,Pilates, barre class and some private training with Coach Melissa. Her quiet determination and consistent effort make her a great participant to have in our group fitness or any one on one session.

Coach Melissa notes that “I love that Marie has always got a positive approach to her wellness, is very warm and welcoming to new active lifers and prioritizes herself/ wellness”.

Coach Sarah says “ It’s always great when I see Marie’s name on my class list ( especially bright and early) as I know she will arrive on time, greet me with a smile and will work her butt off for the whole hour. I appreciate all those things”.

When Marie was informed of the honor she said "What I love most is the variety and great team at ALC- Thank you for all for that!"

Marie Thank you for helping us love coming to work.

🍎🍁Apple Season is HERE!🍁🍎

….and that means apple crisp season is here! Check out this (kinda healthy) apple crisp recipe from @ambitiouskitchen

INGREDIENTS
For the topping:
- 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or regular flour or gluten free oat flour or almond flour)
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (can also sub coconut sugar but brown sugar is best)
- 1/2 cup raw chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter or vegan buttery stick, cut into very small cubes (can also use coconut oil)

For the crisp:
- 5-6 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon bourbon (or pure vanilla extract)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease an 8x8 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. To make the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pecans in a large bowl until well-combined. Add in the pieces of butter and use your hands to squeeze and combine until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles wet sand. (Alternatively, you can cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or place all of the topping ingredients in a food processor and pulse until just blended. My favorite method is to use my hands, as I believe you get the best crumbly topping that way.
3. Once finished, place topping in the fridge and begin making the apple filling.
4. To make the filling: Place apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and bourbon (or vanilla) in a large bowl and toss to combine. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
5. Take 1/3 cup of the topping mixture and toss with the apple mixture. Place the apple mixture in prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with topping.
6. Bake the crisp on a baking sheet (just in case the filling bubbles over!) for 45-55 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes on wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream. Makes 9 servings.

These are very important aspects for injury prevention for all activities but are often an issue with our endurance athletes.

Melissa's Barre Classes are an amazing supplement to any activity to help keep your joints resilient… and best of all…super FUN!

Need an appy for tonight? We’ve got you! Easy Cherry Tomato Bruschetta from @minimalistbaker

INGREDIENTS
4 cloves garlic (divided)
2 tsp olive oil (plus more for oiling pan)
2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered (or other tomato of choice)
3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
1/8 tsp sea salt
4 slices crusty bread or sourdough (or gluten-free bread as needed)
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, press (or finely mince) half of the garlic into a small mixing bowl, then add the olive oil and whisk to evenly distribute the garlic. Add the tomatoes, basil, and salt, and toss gently to combine. Set aside.

2. Generously oil a large cast iron skillet and, with the heat off, place the bread slices (as many as will fit) into the oil, then flip them to evenly coat both sides. Once the bread is oiled, turn the heat on to medium and toast the bread. Watch it closely so it doesn’t burn, flipping each piece after ~2 minutes, or when the underside is deeply golden. Repeat with any remaining bread, adding more oil as needed.

3. Place your toasted bread on a wooden cutting board or other surface to cool slightly. Take your remaining cloves of garlic and cut them in half lengthwise. When the bread is cool enough to handle, rub each slice with half a clove of garlic. Finally, cut each slice of bread in half (for 8 total pieces as recipe is written // adjust if altering the default number of servings) and top each piece with a generous serving of the tomato mixture.
Serve immediately! Delicious alongside salads, pastas, or soups. Best when fresh, but the tomato mixture will keep for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Not freezer friendly.

Here is another great exercise for the ankle from Dr. Angelica. The ankle is the foundation in which our bodies conduct movement which means it needs a lot more attention than we are likely currently giving it. Try adding this exercise to you routine before your workouts or as part of a pre- hiking or running warm up. Come on in to have an assessment or get some hands on treatment. Dr. Angelica sees patients at ALC on Monday, Thursdays & Fridays.

ALC Summer Camps Wrap Up! What a great 4 weeks we

ALC Summer Camps Wrap Up!

What a great 4 weeks we had with our Youth Multisport and @alpineontario Ski Racer Fitness Camps.
It was amazing to see kids back to being kids. The best part of these camps is the inspiration that the Coaches provide to the kids at a critical time in their development. Our philosopy of creating an encouraging place to try new things, learn to move their bodies in new ways, have respect for themselves, their peers and their coaches is incredible to see .
The positive energy was inspiring and many kids have reached out to us to tell us it was the best week of their summer. Can't Wait for Next Year Already!

Kids- you can stay active all year long with us in our Youth Conditioning Classes for ages 6-10 (Fundamentals), Ages 10-13 (Train to Train or 13U Fit Girl ), Ages 13-15 (Intro to Performance) and Ages 14+ (Performance or 14+ Fit Girl).
